When do the real gases obey more correctly the gas equation : PV=nRT?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

An ideal gas is one whose molecules have zero volume and no mutual force between them. At low pressure, the volume of a gas is large and so the volume occupied by the molecules is negligible in comparison to the volume of the gas. At high temperature, the molcules have large velocities and so the intermolecular force has no influence on their motion. Hence at low pressure and high temperature, the behaviour of real gases approach the ideal gas behaviour.
